Now let’s discuss one of the most important pieces of visiting Disney World on New Year’s Eve.

Park Reservations

You need valid park admission and a park reservation to enter a Disney Park and we STRONGLY recommend getting your Park Pass secured for New Year’s Eve as soon as possible. You can make reservations now — and Magic Kingdom is already sold out on New Year’s Eve for both theme park ticket holders and Disney World hotel guests.

The only Annual Pass with valid admission on December 31st is the Incredi Pass, which appears to have open availability on New Year’s Eve at this time. We will keep you updated if any of these options change.

Disney does allow Park Hopping after 2PM (as long as you scan into your park reservation first) but New Year’s Eve is one of those days that could potentially hit capacity, which means you may not be able to Park Hop into Magic Kingdom. You can call 407-560-5000 to find out before you Park Hop on New Year’s Eve, but you can also ring in 2023 at midnight in EPCOT or Hollywood Studios!
